Time passes much slower when you can’t sleep for fear of being ambushed.
Whoever said ‘cuteness is justice’ has obviously never taken care of real live children in their lives.
Cuteness isn’t justice, it’s a sadistic mind trap that lures poor victims into a child’s grubby clutching hands!
Then you get petted! Or pruned! Or licked! Or…or….worse!
Not me though, even though I can’t sleep, I’m perfectly fine.
That’s because I my entire Garden is like a gigantic sensor machine.
Mostly I made it that way due to the fact that since I can’t sleep, or do research, I needed something to take my mind off the constant stress.
In order to make things work, I made the Garden slightly more self-aware.
Not at the level of true sentience mind you, but enough to raise the danger rank.
Rustlllllllle.
Fair? Who the hell plays fair against Adventuring parties?
Only some nutjob would play fair against people that come to plunder their home.
Adventurers are like parasitic moss, that’s why I apply the same solution to both of them.
Blowtorches.
It’s not like I don’t give them a chance.
The sign on the entrance does give proper warning.
Ruuuuustle.
What do you mean misleading?
“This place can grant you Immortality.” There’s nothing misleading there.
I will absolutely grant immortality to any Adventurer that’s able to survive and reach me.
As long as they read the fine print at the bottom of the sign…
The part that says, “Immortality granting requires a service period of one thousand years minimum.”
See? There’s nothing shady about using fine print, demons do it all the time!
Rustle.
What do you mean I’m picking up bad habits from Devon?
I’m a Tree, that claim is ridiculous!
Do you see me drinking myself to sleep?
Or singing in off-key pig wails while almost falling off the edge of the Colosseum?
How about that one habit he has of trying to kill whoever wakes him from his mid-afternoon naps?
I don’t do any of that stuff.
I’m a perfectly normal individual.
Oh?
We have new guests.
Finally, something for the children to play with besides me.

8 170The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
